The forests in which we set foot
Bear memories of those who are long gone
Of Frederick, the elector of Saxony
Of Napoleon, and the wars he won
Both men of noble blood
And both trod the same ground
One chose to destroy
T'other, did the university found
On my idle stroll in the woods
A dilemma came my way
Which way misleads me to the dark
And which leads to a bright happy day?

In this trip, we visited the beautiful city of Eisenach and its famous castle Wartburg. This castle is very important in German history as it is the place that Martin Luther translated the bible from Latin to German.
We were a group of around 15 people and had a nice visit of the castle and took part in the tour where they explained us in detailed what happened there.
Unfortunately, since it was one of our first trips, not many photos are available.
